Prologue

"It's one hundred and four days til summer vacation, and school comes along just to end it." my alarm clock went off at exactly six in the morning.

As mother wanted.

A groan escaped from my partly opened lips as I opened my dreary eyes to get out of bed, wiping up the dry drool on the side of my face. "So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it" I yawned along to the tune of the song, before kicking the covers off and started my daily stretches.

Finally getting out of bed, I lugged myself to the bathroom, and turned on the shower while letting the alarm song continue to play out in the background, like I do every morning. It was my jam.

"Like maybe..building a rocking or fighting a mummy, or climbing up the Eiffel Tower Dun nana na discovering something that doesn't exist, or giving a monkey a shower!! Dun dun dun dun" I sang along while hopping into the shower after stripping down, yet not with the same enthusiasm this time around...

Not today.

Today is my first day of my college year, but instead of going to one of the schools I had picked out all the way since sophomore year with all of my other friends, my delightful mother decided it was best if she picked out a completely different school all together. 

I guess it's a bit fair though...I've always grew up as the quiet child, never really going out or having anyone to talk to on the phone like that besides the only two friends I've made since 5th grade. I guess my mom would like for me to branch out more and make more friends, more memories. But I could make all the memories I want while had going to the college I was aiming to go too! 

Although.. it was pretty close to home still..

Not to mention that she knows all about my "little" secret cause my big mouth doesn't know when to shut up sometimes. God it's even embarrassing just thinking about it...

"ugh!" I groaned a deep sigh to myself while letting the water rain over me, closing my eyes to drown out my thoughts. Funny thing is, she don't treat me any differently like I would have expected.

She seems... chill about it. Although, I suppose I should be lucky about that.

But what if it's all a ruse just to make me feel more comfortable? What if she actually didn't care? What if she's just fed up with it all? The screams of Candice tattling on her brother-once again-silenced my overwhelming, circling thoughts. I shook my head back to reality, realizing I was staring at the wall the entire time then slowly began washing up.

After finally finishing up my shower, I went back into my bedroom and started puled out a fit to wear from my closet. I slipped on my svtfoe horns as the last thing to complete the look I was going for today. It complimented the Steven Universe shirt I had on and the yellow tutu to match. I scooped up my black converses as I was heading downstairs to eat some breakfast before we leave.

"Do you ever cut off that alarm in the morning??" my mom questioned, stopping in front of me with her arms crossed and a smirk painted on her face. I gave a slight smile back her way with finger guns, holding back a bit as I was still kind of upset about this whole ordeal. 

"Sorry ma, you know I can't resist though, that's the morning banger" I laughed, walking past her and making my way down the stairs towards the kitchen.

"Well I hope you're ready to go, we have 30 minutes till we hit the road" she yelled from the other room. I ended up rolling my eyes at the statement while continuing to the kitchen, hoping to draw her out with pouring myself a bowl of Lucky Charms.
